Paris Fashion Week saw a royal touch this season as the Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle, made her debut at the front row of Balenciaga's Spring/Summer 2026 show.

For her first appearance at Pierpaolo Piccioli's debut collection for Balenciaga, Meghan embraced a soft, ivory palette. She donned a custom co-ord featuring a silky button-down paired with tailored pants, over which she draped a matching cape worn like a stole.

Accessories were kept subtle yet polished with black pumps, a sleek black clutch, and delicate diamond studs. Meghan’s glam was equally demure with a clean, dewy base, feathered brows, rosy cheeks, and soft pink lips, while her hair was tied in a slick, low bun. The Duchess proved that understated doesn’t mean boring; it can be the epitome of chic.

Later, Meghan stepped out in a second custom Balenciaga look, perfect for an intimate Parisian dinner. The sleeveless black gown featured a draped neckline, backless detailing, and a cape-like panel at the front. Its slim silhouette balanced drama and elegance, showing a slightly bolder facet of Meghan’s style while maintaining her signature demure aesthetic.

And obviously she kept her accessories minimal again with a pair of dainty diamond studs, a sleek bracelet, a statement watch, and the same black pumps carried over from her earlier look. A subtle makeup highlighting feathered brows, luminous skin, and muted glossy lips with a top knot completed her evening appearance.
